Former Moroka Swallows forward Alton Meiring has outlined what the Dube Birds should learn from the high-flying Stellenbosch FC.
Against all odds, Stellies were recently crowned the Carling Knockout champions, and are currently fourth on the DStv Premiership table.
Meiring says the likes of Swallows should take leaf out of Stellenbosch book to avoid biting more than what they can chew.
"It's always nice to have a team that is not that big dominating," Meiring tells KickOff.

"Stellenbosch they are financially strong yes, and as you know Moroka Swallows are struggling now, you could see it on the field.

"Everybody has been complaining about Mamelodi Sundowns and their money, but Stellenbosch has been quiet.
"Yes their owners also they are rich, but they never went overboard. They stick to their budget and it stays like that.
